(1/3) > >>

burn em up chuck:
 i just wanted to share what my mother and father enlaw got me at a garage sale. correct if i'm wrong but is'nt this an old feather burner? there's only one sticker, and i can only read one word EASTERN. looks like there were two words just can't read the second word. maybe someone here knows?
  question; what kind of wire was used for burner wire? should i try and use it or copy it for use?

Here's a link to a related discussion. Your burner looks like a large wire wound resistor ,that is in series with the burner wire.

It seems people have used several things as the hot wire ,even small diameter guitar strings . One of the preferred is heating wire (can't remember the technical name) the same wire used in toasters .

Chuck,
If you gert hold of an old toaster the toaster wire from that should work OK.
This very long link may help set it up.  You can find it through a google image search for easton feather burner

I hate when I can't remember stuff , so I looked it up. The wire used in  toasters is Nichrome wire and it is an alloy of nickel and chromium .You can buy spools of it on that online auction site.
